Name of the killer of Deputy Interior Minister of Adjara Elguja Dzhincharadze was made public. The murder occurred last September in Moscow. As reported by the "GHN" referring to Russian media, the killer turned out to be a businessman and brother of the famous sports figure - Gocha Dzasokhov - 37-year-old Richard.

He was detained by Russian law enforcement bodies on August 5 this year in the city of Temryuk, Krasnodar Krai, and was later transferred to Moscow.

Murder of the deputy interior minister of Adjara Jincharadze occured in September last year near the hotel "Ukraine" in Moscow. 45 years Elguja was shot from a pistol in presence of several witnesses.

Richard Dzasokhov is the younger brother of Gocha Dzasokhov - Georgian businessman, politician, philanthropist and sports figure of Ossetian origin. In addition, Gocha Dzasokhov was the head of the Assembly of Peoples of Georgia.

Investigators still do not disclose the motives of the crime. They only say that there was was personal enmity between Richard and Elguja. Perhaps Richard originally has not planned assassination but it appeared a consequence of violent quarrels, perhaps on political motives.
